Bob, just be glad you're not doing this in California. I remember a =
press conference by one of the executives from Disneyland after they did =
their latest expansion; he had a small stack of pages and said " These =
are the permits we needed for the original building of the park" and =
then he pulled out a truly giant stack and said; "And these are the =
permits we needed just for the extension on our PARKING LOT."
    Morale of the story; The bigger the Government, the bigger the =
headaches.

  We intend to have a rest room in the shop.  Unfortunately this =

  a huge problem with permitting because the county will then classify =
the=20
  building as a dwelling structure.  The codes are a nightmare.  My=20

   The trick is to install the drains AFTER inspections but BEFORE=20
  concrete it poured.  Simply leave the plumbing a couple inches below =

  planned.  I asked my architect about this and he said this was a =
common=20
  proceedure for these types of projects and agreed.  No one will ever=20
  check it or care.  The same goes for heating/AC.  If we install AC as=20
  part of the project we must hire an engineer to do a series of=20
  ridiculous thermal calcs.  Our architect says forget it.  The loop =
hole=20
  is to contract a heating/cooling man to do the installation AFTER the=20
  building is completed.  Once the building is finished the county can =
no=20
  longer dictate heating and cooling requirements.
